So we're going to demonstrate the between-the-leg-dribble. One of the reasons for doing this is that one, you want to be able to escape from your opponent. Two, you want to be able to gain and advantage. But it must not be overused. You want to sell the defense in what your doing. You want to convince him that you're going in one direction and then you want to cut back to a different direction. So the between-the-leg dribble is primarily used by a guard but I think that this is a maneuver that every basketball player should learn. Because when it's effective it's amazing. What you want to do, you want to sell the defense that you're going in one direction and you want to counter by going in another direction. What this does, it gets the defense off balance, giving the offensive player a clear path to the basket or to escape out of danger.
